Converting a U.S. coin mech to accept CANADIAN quarters

Anyone know the procedure for converting a U.S. coin mech to accept CANADIAN quarters?
Purchased a Popeye from a U.S. KLOV member and brought the machine back to Canada. it accepts U.S. coins NO problem. NOT so for our Canadian quarters.

Guess my questions are......do the entire mechs have to be replaced? I assume they do as they are NON adjustable. Also, would I need the specific popeye mech or will a similar Nintendo mech do?

thanks

From my experiences, as long as the coin mech doesn't have a magnet installed, all you have to do is play around with the little slider on the back until you get it to accept both CAN and US quarters...

EDIT: I don't own any Nintendo cabs, though, so ymmv.
 
I have (or had) a ton of canadian coin mechs, some looked brand new. PM me and I'll dig around for them. Not sure if I saved them as no one seemed interested...
 
The only Canadian mechs I own are in my Missile Command CT, which is for sale or trade if anyone is interested. However, it is set for dimes, nut quarters.
